rattyrat Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 While stripping my interior to fit new carpet, I discovered the metal area under the rear seat is very pitted looking and crumbly. I've done a magnet and screwdriver test everywhere and apart from one very small hole which is about 1mm it seems solid. What's the best course of action to tackle this? Will I have do this section of the car underneath too? Can I get away with treating it in the interior only? I have no ramps or lifts so it's gonna be tricky to get under. The main floor pans are completely solid and there's no pitting or signs of rust. Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Wire brush all you can, then paint with a rust neutralizer, then I think you can top coat it. It's under the seat, so just use your favorite top coat paint. If you decide now or later to cut out & repair properly, kfvintagejdm.com makes a patch panel for that area............ 1 Quote Link to comment
